<p>The robot simulator CoppeliaSim, with integrated development environment, is based on a distributed control architecture: each object/model can be individually controlled via an embedded script, a plugin,  ROS / ROS2 nodes, BlueZero nodes, remote API clients, or a custom solution. This makes CoppeliaSim very versatile and ideal for multi-robot applications. Controllers can be written in C/C++, Python, Java, Lua, Matlab, Octave or Urbi. </p>
<p>Following are just a few of CoppeliaSim's applications:</p>
<li>Simulation of factory automation systems</li>
<li>Remote monitoring</li>
<li>Hardware control</li>
<li>Fast prototyping and verification</li>
<li>Safety monitoring</li>
<li>Fast algorithm development</li>
<li>Robotics related education</li>
<li>Product presentation</li>

<p>
CoppeliaSim can be used as a stand-alone application or can easily be embedded into a main client application: its small footprint and elaborate API makes CoppeliaSim an ideal candidate to embed into higher-level applications. An integrated Lua script interpreter makes CoppeliaSim an extremely versatile application, leaving the freedom to the user to combine the low/high-level functionalities to obtain new high-level functionalities.
